Saint-Tropez Beach

Description

Saint-Tropez Beach presents an August afternoon in 1971 when the French coastline perfectly balanced artistic heritage with newfound glamour. Beach-goers inhabit the sun-bleached shoreline where painters once positioned their easels, now transformed into the Mediterranean stretch most celebrated for its golden sand. The scene unfolds during that brief window when Saint-Tropez had evolved past its fishing village roots but retained its unhurried charm. This particular summer marked the zenith of beach culture, when fashion shifted from structured sixties style to flowing seventies freedom.
